Video Filter 2014.611.2147.5418

Applying various filters to photos before or after taking them is a quite common activity, but doing that when recording video clips is less encountered, mainly because there are few utilities suitable for this job.

Windows Phone users can enjoy on their handsets an app suggestively named Video Filter, which will make it possible to record videos with all sorts of effects.

Friendly front-end, bent on functionality

The looks of this application are less impressive from the visual perspective as they lack stylish graphics and fancy colors, relying instead on a more practical layout.

The preview area is quite generous and the entire screen is at your disposal for framing the subject or landscape you want to capture.

Nonetheless, the GUI is only shown in landscape mode and while using the front camera rotating the display will also turn the image upside down. Also, the responsiveness of the preview is heavily influenced by the selected filters, as it can become laggy in many situations.

Choose and configure filters on the go

This utility brings you quite a few enhancements to choose from and after accessing the list you can go through all of them and try out each effect. A great feature of Video Filter is the ability to create effect combinations, as it supports adding multiple filters and even including the same one several times.

The more effects you select, the less responsive the preview will become and this also affects the recorded video. While making the capture, the app automatically removes the filters from the preview to make the processing task easier on the system.

A good deal of the filters included in the package allow you make some tweaks to their parameters and thus fine-tune the image quality to the desired levels.

Straightforward setup of the device

Video Filter is able to make use of both the rear and the front-facing cameras of a mobile phone, but making the switch is less easygoing, as you will have to go inside the "Settings" area to do that.

Choosing the preview and recording resolution, format and framerate can be done from the same section, but you should also note the advice that better performance is achieved at lower resolutions.

When it comes to saving the recorded clips, the application allows you to pick the output destination, so the MP4 videos can be stored on the phone's local storage or onto an attached SD card.
